Lots of great suggestions! I've wanted to do a churn dash for a few quilts now but I knew it wasn't the style of the recipients so haven't - I also envision doing a churn dash for my own future DD 2nd quilt - once she it in a toddler bed.
I LOVE Irish chains, that is a strong contender.
Peggi - I love that quilt - and wow does Jenny simplify the process, I never would have thought to just slice one like she did - will be on my list if not for my friends baby.
I feel like it's gotta be the irish chain...there really is not much at the quilt store and I was hoping to finish it soon since I assume I'll be too pregnant to do much soon.
